Day 80: Insulation

The folks from Tri County Insulation started spraying foam insulation in the ceiling over the kitchen. Here is a pic showing the first 5-1/2 inch thick application.

Green comment for today:
Consider using a soy based spray foam insulation like BioBased to fill your wall or ceiling cavities. Insulation R-value per inch is equal to or greater than common fiberglass batt material and air leakage is lower than with any other type of insulation. BioBased replaces a portion of the petroleum product with natural renewable oil and blows the material with water resulting in a more environmentally friendly product than common polyurethane spray foam insulation.

Thanks for reading. I enjoy your comments.
